<body><div style="font-family:Arial;">Andy, thank you so much for reuniting me with this command I've long been missing. I can get used to M-j, especially since I already use C-j. Thank you so much! Not sure how I lost track of that change. Anyhow, this really helps me. Thanks!<br></div>

<div><br></div>
<div>Mark is right; paredit-mode binds paredit-reindent-defun to M-q, which calls either lisp-fill-paragraph (from lisp-mode.el) or indents the form, depending on whether you're in a comment or string. The string part is nice if you like docstrings with a fixed maximum width.<br></div>

<div>I don't know the command you are after but paredit provides the command paredit-reindent-defun which is bound to M-q when in paredit mode.<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div>You can invoke this command once your comment becomes too long to fit on one line. For example:<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div><div style="font-family:Arial;">(defun example ()<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> ;; This is a really long comment designed to show how the function paredit-reindent-defun works.*<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> (print "hello world"))<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">(defun example ()<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> ;; This is a really long comment designed to show how the function<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> ;; paredit-reindent-defun works.*<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> (print "hello world"))<br></div>

<div><div style="font-family:Arial;">OK, well I'm wondering if anyone remembers the keybinding M-RET (meta return), within a semi-colon (;) comment, which used to wonderfully both start a new line, but also continue the comment at the same indent level, same number of leading semi-colons, with a space after. Example:<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">You're here, and your cursor is where the * is:<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> (defun foo ()<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> ;; blah blah blah*<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">and you type M-RET. Next thing that happens is the cursor is on the next line where the * is, and the lines then look like this:<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> (defun foo ()<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> ;; blah blah blah<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"> ;; *<br></div>
<div><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">What happened to that functionality? I thought it was there for years, I'm pretty sure on the Lisp Machine and I think for years in regular Emacs in Lisp mode. It got ingrained in my fingers, and I often still try it, but of course now all I get is: M-RET is undefined<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial;">Thank you.<br></div>
